THE MURDERER STILL LYING.
HIS REAL PURPOSE.

1t is the belief of the Coroner's jury and
all who attended the inquest that his only
object was to murder the whole family ex-
cept Maud, to outrage her and kill her, and
then burn the house to hide the crime All
the stories he can tell, or that can be in
vented by sensational correspondent, will
not make the people of this county believe
him to be anything but the fiend incarnate
that he is. If it is learned here that Hong
Di told this story, his chances tor fair trial
will be yerv slim.

ABOUT CONTENTION.

Our good friend, the London

calls the unnecessary contention"
which takes place among so-called
labor papers, and says that such con-
tention induces monopoly to chuckle.
With the exception of one or two
insignificant examples, We have
failed to discover wanton contention
among labor papers. Contention
there has been and will be; even Sc
we're and caustic or humorous eriti-
eism, according to the temperament
Of the editors; but we must grant
each the privilege of expressing his
opinions and that of his constitu-
ents. Discussion and criticism are
not evil in themselves. Honest men
and honest factions may differ in

opinion. AS to monopoly's chuckle,
would not the keen monopolist smile
as derisively at the labor papers if
they quietly went the even tenor of
their way in as many different direc-
tons as there are papers! Unity
cannot be had for the mere wishing
if principles or what are considered
such, are taken into account. 1t is
to discover ground upon which we
can unite that we debate in our
unions, assemblies and political
clubs. Aud when there happens to
appear an abusive or grossly self
opinionated blockhead, why, the
probability is that he will be ''sat
upon" by the more reasonable men
Of various opinions. What we want
to tell our friend is that there is very
little unnecessary contention"
among the many labor papers on our
exchange list. We disagree with
many, and many disagree with us
just now; but when the proper time
comes we shall be found fighting the
common enemy-in fact we are doing
it now, from various points of van
tage, front flank and rear. May we
meet in the conquered citadel as
happy vlctors and build our New
Commonwealth upon the sound prin-
ciples of Cooperation and Democ-
racy.

LABOR REDIVIVUS.

The conference at Webster Hall,
New York, last Sunday gave prom
Use of a healthy political labor move
ment this fall, and a resurrection
from the ditch into which it had
been switched by the George clique.
The threatened humiliation of
the Labor Party by the George land
clubs will no doubt prove beneficial,
inasmuch as the episode has caused
the organized workmcn to look deep
er into the principles of trades
unonism; and the discussion of
labor politics very naturally points
out the true solution of the labor
question, and, of course, exposes not
only the fallacy of the George doc
trine, but the dishonesty of George
tactics.
The advanced thinkers among the
organized workmen of New York
are many, and they have no incen-
tive to make a god out of one or two.
And among the Socialists it is the
same. Men of thought and talent
are not such rarities that their fell
lows must needs stand with mouths
agape in wonder and admiration.
AS might have been expected, a
conference of the representati yes Of
such elements was carried on with
dignity and earnestness, and with
definite objects in view. Nor was
unscemly haste a characteristic of
the Webster Hall conference. Sew
enty-eight bona fde labor organiza-
tlons and political assemblies were
represented, and the conference was
larger almost by half than the
packed Syracuse convention, in
which connection it may be said that
unlike the Syracuse affair the dele
gates to Webster Hall represented
constituencies, which at least one
third of the Syracuse delegates"
did not.
A platform based upon that of the
Central Labor Union will probably
be adopted.
The conference reconvened on
Thursday. and the results of that
day must be left to the next number
of the WoRkMEN's ADVOCATE, as
we go to press on that day,

LABOR POLITICS.

When speaking of Labor Politics
the mind of the labor reformer nat
urally supplies n synonym, and that
is honest politics. Therefore in treat
ing of politics that are to benefit the
working people, one must insist, for
the cause of the masses, upon such
tactics as will give those who are
PARTICULAR y interested-the workers
an opportunity to supervise and
conduct the movement which is to
benefit them; in short, the principle
of democracy must be observed.
Many labor organizations have
already adopted the policy of rele-
eating questions of Importance to
the popular vote, and have provided
for the honest count of that vote;
and many more of such organiza-
tons are introducing the referendum
as a means of ascertaining the will
of the members upon any subject in
question. This idea of respecting
the will OF the people, of confding
in their ultimate wisdom has long
been practiced by bodies of so-callcd
radical, the soclalistic, organizations.
Even the old-fashloned political
economists impress it upon our
minds that popular reforms cannot
proceed faster than the popular in
telligence and the popular will.
The main difference between the
politicians of the old school and the
Socialists in this matter is that the
former would interpret the popular
will by the gauge of popular resist
ance to oppressive measures, while
the latter seek the popular will by
submitting to the popular vote any
subject upon which the will of the
people may be expressed. That the
latter method is the most essentially
democratic and peaceful is obvious.
But there is more to be said in
favor of the Socialist method. 1t is
educational. To rouse thought and
discussion upon questions of public
policy is to develop the, thinking
and reasoning faculties of the masses.
And while the opponents of indus
trial supremacy would hardly dare
publicly to deny to the workers the
privilege of thinking for themselves
and thus become capable of CONTROL
ing their-propefy, they neverthe-
less exert an influence against the
practice of pure democracy, while
prating of the privilege accorded the
masses in the ballot for the election
of officials.
Now, the agitation for this OF
that candidate, the discussion of hi,
good qualities, his morals, of his fit
ness to shine as a leader o.
representative of his constituents
does not educate the people upol
questions of public policy. Tn
elections partake of the character o
sporting contests with all the evil

Mr.. Everett Glackin who presided
at the "Anti- Poverty meeting in
New York last Sunday showed a
fatherly consideration when he said:
There are some who preach labor
politics who do not travel in the way we

they see that they are going wrong.
They must come to our idea at last
They mean well, but they don't know"
Mr.. Glackln is a printer, and as
such has to do with the opinions of
many men; therefore he can look
kindly upon the well-meaning but
ignorant men who cannot compre-
bend the trancendent beauties and
Notwithstanding virtues of taxing
the land to its full rental value.

in doesn't pin all his faith to the

in.
Thus it is that the radical, the
socialistic portion, il you please, of
Organized Labor, aims to place in
the hands of the people the law-cre-
ating power direct, and consistently
opposes the system of bosslsm which
prevails in the existing political par
ties, and which some well meaning,
perhaps, but specifically educated
reformers would perpetuatc, if pos
sible, by ENGRAVING the pernlclous
system upon party which they are
pleased, reluctantly, to dcnominate
II "abor" party. They would ele-
yate the laborng people by doing
their thinking for them and Offering
them problcmatical Cultures in re-
turn for their acceptance Of a schcmc
of salvation in the preparation of
which neither the people nor history
had any formative influence.
That such schemes must result in
failure and disappointment for both
the wcII-meanIng platform makers
and their adhcrents, experience has
taught, and will continue to teach as
long AS the public intelligence is not
taken into account and in fact built
upon.
For a healthy development of the
body exercise is necessary; to devel
OPP certain muscles they must be
used. And so it is with the facul-
ties of the mind. But back of mere
use, there must be an incentive.
The promises of united action are
sustained by experience, and the re:
suits of trades unionism have been
such as to suggest further advance
in industrial reform. The capital
list system, developing into co-opera-
ton in production and distribution,
suggests to the Socialist something
more than cooperation of Industrial
force under the guidance and con-
troll, and for the profit of few in
dividuals who happen to be the pos
SCISSORS Of the means of production.
And it is to impart to others who
have not exercised their thought an
incentive to think that the ''radi-
Gals" present their views, earnestly
and respectfully, knowing full we'll
that to weigh and consider will lead
to action, and circumstances dictate
what that action shall be. At pres
ent it is political action that seems
to be required, and political action,
springIng from the intelligent COM
prehcnslon by the masses of their ne
cessites, and of their power to carry
out their ideas, is the only kind of
politics that will ever be of lasting
benefit to the working people.
Neither incentive to, nor exercise
of, thought upon social economics is
provided by the scheme of politics
now IN vogue. 1t is necessary,
therefore for the Labor Party to be
so conducted that it's members shall
have the privilege, and experience
the necessity of the responsibility,
and contribute the result of their
experience in the expression of opln-
ion through the ballot rs well ms
through their representatives, in
formulating their demands.
Let the people trust the people,
and the trust will not be misplaced.
Such trust is the foundation of real
labor politics.
